The shoulders are a
returning theme at Margiela. For SS10, they are growing vertical and raise on

ultra mini is another signature in this collection. Colored paper inspired by
Post-it notes is covering boots…

Late-Fall Style 2009
The boyfriend look gets
its sexiness from the 'feminization' of male pieces that tells the story of a
woman and a man who are in love. But would men wear Girlfriend jeans? As long
as there are no Girlfriend jeans on the market, man can use the boyfriend
cut! Imagine him with crunchy back…

CALENDAR:
(‘Short Messages’ from the cover of www.fashionoffice.org in chronological order)
Absurd art videos about the experience of space; seen
at the website of the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf. The museum closes from 1 Nov

“You in yourself have the whole of the universe. When I cut
you up in a certain way, I cut up the universe.” William S. Burroughs Video: William S. Burroughs cuts pages of
books, newspapers and brings the words into a new meaning; in the documentary
Burroughs says: “When I cut you up in a certain way, I cut up the universe.”
By cutting up texts, he creates gaps in time and space. William S. Burroughs’
experimental writings, the ‘Cut Ups’, are on screening during the exhibition
‘Rip It Up and Start Again’ about five artists with influences on the international
art scene of the 1970s and 1980s (William S. Burroughs, Charles Henri Ford,
Ray Johnson, Arthur Russell, Philippe Thomas) from 10 Oct to 22 Nov 2009 at
the Kunstverein
München. In official art historical discourses,
however, they received little attention and remain virtually unrecognized to
a wider public till today.
Style guides made of the abstraction of popular culture The American
artist Jason Salavon’s work
‘Field Guide to Style & Color’ (2007) and ‘374 Farben’ (2007) is on view
on occasion of the exhibition 'Fenomen Ikea' from 6 Nov 2009 to 28 Feb 2010
at the MKG (Museum für Kunst
und Gewerbe) in Hamburg (Germany). The title '374 Farben' means ‘374 Colors’;
the artist has named it referring to Gerhard Richter’s abstract paintings ‘Color Charts’ of
the late 60ies/early 70ies. For his analytic work, Salavon has simplified
each page of the IKEA catalogue into pure color and arranged 374 pages into
charts. The Columbus Museum of Art-documentary gives insight into
the artist's analytic view on trends in popular culture.
Does a chicken express cultural identity? The Washington gallery ‘Conner Contemporary Art’ exhibits the artwork ‘The Cosmopolitan Chicken
Project (DC)’ of the Belgian designer Koen Vanmechelen from 7 Nov – 31 Dec.
The artist questions ethical themes like genetic engineering, globalization,
and individuality. Does a chicken express cultural identity? Therefore the
artist has started a global enterprise, The Cosmopolitan Chicken Project, a
systematically crossing all breeds of chickens to create a world-mongrel
chicken connercontemporary.com
